KR> You don't set the InstanceID. I'm having trouble thinking of a KR> scenario where you need the InstanceID in the case. However, KR> since it's a key value, it doesn't feel right omitting it. Yeah, you know, I did that on purpose. However, after some pondering and a little consultation, I think you're right. I'd propose that we set InstanceID to something like "TEMPORARY". This will be both (a) invalid for use in any other VSSD capacity, and (b) will indicate to a human looking at it that it's a transient placeholder. Perhaps we should go a step further and add some randomness to the end to make it unique, per the rules. The template RASDs should probably be updated with the same behavior.
